Wet tail

Question
I have a white guinea-pig and i have discovered she is damp around her rear end couuld this be wet tail?

Answer
Hi Polly.  If your guinea pig seems to be permanently wet around her bottom she could well have a urinary infection.  I would get it checked out as sometimes these infections can also be linked to problems with the reproductive system.  Some pigs can just be lazy and sit in their toilet matter, but this isn't usual behaviour and i would suggest there could be an infection going on there.

I hope this helps.
